~Henna Party~

Salam Sisters,

It's been so long since I have done a real post. A couple of weeks ago I attended a wedding and henna party (mehndi party) for a family friend. We had loads of fun. This type of party typically takes place the night before the wedding and the bride gets her hands and feet decorated with henna. The guests are usually just girls/women  and they also get their hands decorated if they want. [This is how we do it where I'm from but I know every country is different.]

I ended up wearing an Anarkali Chudithar similar to the one in the middle below but mine was corally peach and beige colored.

Your going to have to imagine how this all looks together because I wasn't wearing my hijab when I took pictures in the outfit.

I'll post another update on the wedding outfit. 

Till then!

~New Year~

Happy New Year!!!!!

OMG I cannot believe its 2012 already. Inshallah this year is filled with fun and joy for all of you!

~Flying Time~

Whoa how does time fly! My last post was about Thanksgiving and its almost Christmas break now!! Finals are still not over for me hence why I have been MIA! I have one more paper and a final exam then I'm done and can enjoy myself.

This semester I feel less stressed and scared about finals maybe it's the fact that I've gotten some practice all the other finals week or maybe its because all of them are spread out and aren't all in one week. Anyway the best thing to do for finals week is to prioritize and get what needs to be done out of the way. If you have a paper and a final the same day get the paper done in advance. And if you have 2-3 exams in one day you should start studying early so you have more time to study for each exam. 

Anyways I just came to pop in and let you know what I have been up to. Hope all of you are doing fine.

TTYL,

~Thanksgiving Weekend~

I hope all of you enjoyed Thanksgiving with family and friends. I am so sad the weekend is over and its back to hectic school. =[

Here are some pictures I took over the weekend. 

1. A Red Velvet cake I got at a bakery I went to with a friend for Thanksgiving. I ended up sharing it with my sisters who loved it as much as me.

2 & 3. View of the Skyline from the East River. [Took picture on my phone in the dark...it didn't really capture the beauty]

  4. Frozen yogurt from a new place we randomly walked by. I got peanut butter cups and lots of cookie dough and one rainbow cookie on top of mine. [The rainbow cookie wasn't that great ended up throwing it away but the rest of it was tasty!] I got a small but it was so big that I was able to take it home and eat it the next day.

~Coral Love~

Salam Sisters,

Thought  I would pop in and say Hello.

This semester is going by fast! I feel like I just took midterms and finals are just around the corner. Can you believe its almost Thanksgiving then December!! Thanksgiving is coming right on time I really need a break from school. Thanksgiving means Black Friday is coming as well but I don't think I will be shopping then [because I'm broke :( ] 

I am really loving the color Coral right now and realized I have nothing this color. I know its Fall and coral is more of a springy color but I feel like you can totally incorporate some of these pieces into your outfit.

All items are from Forever 21

Anyway, I should get back to the essay I'm supposed to be writing...

Allahafiz, 

~Update: Snow and Eid~

Salam Sisters,

I can't believe I haven't updated since October! I'm sorry about that but being in College/University really takes up time. October was so hectic with midterms and essays I didn't even have time to breathe [not literally lol]. I still have a couple more tests this week and next but now its a little more manageable so I can stop neglecting this blog.

I can’t believe how fast time flies and that it‘s already fall and almost winter! I love fall from the cool weather to the awesome clothes. A couple of weeks ago it snowed here where I live which was crazy, snow in October! That day my family and I had went shopping and it was snowing lightly when we went into the store and when we came back out our car was covered in snow and it was windy and snow was falling like crazy. The ride back home was hard because we couldn’t see properly. That night we went to a birthday party and I wore flats and the snow had actually stuck on the ground in some places so my feet were wet and freezing by the time I got home. Flats and snow do not mix!

Eid Mubarak once again to everyone, I hope all of you had a wonderful Eid!! My Eid was good I ate a lot of good food and took a break from worrying about school. As you all may know I love putting on Henna even though I am not that good at it but I believe practice makes perfect and so I always find excuses to put it on myself or someone else. Of course preparation for Eid includes putting henna [in my house it is anyway]. I put it on myself as well as my sisters. Here is a picture of what I did:

Anyway Inshallah I will be doing more posts now that midterms are over. I still can’t believe its November and before you know it it’ll be December and Finals time. =[

Take care,

~Eid Mubarak~

Salam sisters,
Eid Mubarak!
I know I have been neglecting this blog but I am back!!!
